The Type-Revolving Printing Machine manufactured by our firm was invented 
by Col. Richard M. Hoe. It is, as its name indicates, on the rotary principle; 
that is, the form of type is placed on the surface of a horizontal revohdng cylinder 
of about four and a half feet in diameter. The form occupies a segment of only 
about one-fourth of the surface of the cylinder, the remainder being used as an 
ink-distributing surface. Around this main cylinder, and parallel with it, are placed 
smaller impression cylinders, varying in number from two to ten, according to the 
size of the machine. The large cylinder being put in motion, the form of types is 
carried successively to all the impression cylinders, at each of which a sheet is 
introduced and receives the impression of the types as the form passes. Thus as 
many sheets are printed at each revolution of the main cylinder as there are 
impression cylinders around it. One person is required at each impression cylinder 
to supply the sheets of paper, which are taken at the proper moment by fingers or 
grippers, and after being printed are conveyed out by tapes and laid in heaps by 
self-acting flyers, thereby dispensing with the hands required in ordinary machines 
to receive and pile the sheets. The grippers hold the sheet securely, so that the 
thinnest newspaper may be printed without waste. 

The ink is contained in a fountain placed beneath the main cylinder, and is 
conveyed by means of distributing rollers to the distributing sui’face on the main 
cylinder. This surface being lower, or less in diameter than the form of types, 
passes by the impression cylinder without touching. For each impression cylinder 
there are two inking rollers, receiving their supply of ink from the distributing 
surface of the main cylinder, which rise and ink the form as it passes under them, 
then again fall to the distributing surface. 

Each page of the paper is locked up on a detached segment of the large cylinder 
which segment constitutes its bed and chase. The column rules run parallel with 
the shaft of the cylinder, and are consequently straight, while the head, advertising 
and dash rules have the form of segments of a circle. The column xailes are in 
the shape of a wedge, with the thin part directed toward the axis of the cylinder, 
so as to bind the types securely. These wedge-shaped column rules are held in 
their place by tongues projecting at intervals along their length, and sliding in 
rebated grooves cut crosswise in the face of the bed. The spaces in the grooves 
between the column rules are accurately fitted with sliding blocks of metal, even 
with the surface of the bed ; the ends of these blocks being cut away underneath 
to receive a projection on the sides of the tongues of the column rules. The 
locking-up is etfected by means of screws at the foot of each page, by which the 
type is held as securely as in the ordinary manner upon a flat bed and is much 
less liable to accident. 

The speed of these machines is limited only by the ability of the feeders to 
supply the sheets. The Four cylinder machine is run at a rate of over ten thousand 
per hour, the Six cylinder machine fifteen thousand an hour, the Eight cylinder 
machine twenty thousand, and Ten cylinder machine twenty-five thousand. This 
system combines the greatest speed in printing, durability of machinery, and 
economy of labor.

Ix this machine tlie form is placed on a flat bed, and the impression taken 
by means of tAvo cylinders, each of which alternately takes a sheet and receiyes 
an impression from the form while it is passing under them. The^ sheets are 
supplied by two attendants. The self sheet-flying apparatus is furnished in all 
cases, dispensing entirely with the fly-hoys. 

The large amount of printing ordinarily done on these presses, and the conse¬ 
quent speed required, have rendered necessary greatly increased strength in all 
the parts, together Avith simplicity in the mechanical arrangements, and the utmost 
perfection of Avorkmanship. The concussion of the bed against the springs which 
are placed at each end of the machine to oyercorae the momentum, is obviated 
by means of adjustable India-i’ubber buffers placed at the points of contact, 
and which add to the liA’ely and certain action of the spiral springs.

Ix its arraiigoinent, this is similar to the Double Cylinder Machiue. The small 
size of the cylinder allows of a very compact construction, thus shortening the 
distance which the bed travels, and so increasing the speed that from 2,000 to 
3,000 impressions per hour may be obtained with perfect safety to the machinery. 
Only one attendant is required, as the printed sheets are thrown out by a Hy-frame 
in a uniform pile. Register sufficiently accurate for newspaper and job work is 
secured by tbe patent feed guides, which are attached to each press. 

This j)ress is made in the same substantial manner as the double cylinder press 
with buffers similarly arranged to prevent noise.

are all to he found on the accompaiiTung drawing: 


1.. The bed plate is laid down level on the 

floor, aud if on a ground floor, a 
frame of 8 by 10 inch timber, as 
shown at figure B, framed and bolted 
with I inch bolts, will require to be 
bedded on a few courses of brick¬ 
work, well laid in mortar as a foun¬ 
dation ; the frame should be made 4 
inches wider and longer than the bed 
plate. 

2--The side frames, placed according to the 

marks indented on the metal, which I 
must all be made to correspond. 

3.. The bridge beam between side frames. 

4.. The ribs are now carried in and rested | 

on the snugs, inside of frames; the 
bolts at one end only put through 
the side frames, to allow’ the ribs to 
be carried up about one inch at the ’ 
other end, so as to let in the small ! 
supporting columns between the ribs 
and bridge beam. All the bolts can 
now be put in and secured. ' 

5.. 5.ring stands also put in under ribs at 

each end of press. 

6.. Two sets of spiral springs, laid on bed- ' 

plate between stands. 

7.. Spring lever, set in spring stands. 

8.. 510. hanger, which is bolted to the un¬ 

der side of ribs, not visible on draw- | 
ing. 

9.. Eoller frames laid in channels of ribs. 



10.-Bevel rack pinion, with universal joint 
shaft (fig. 2) which is put through 
the hanger, Xo. 8, till the brass collar 
lies in the slot, the driving shaft 
passed through from the outside ot 
frame and the universal joint coupled 
together. 


11..The outside gearing is now keyed on 
the driving shaft ; first the impres¬ 
sion pinion and secondly the outside 
driving wheel; also the driving pul¬ 
ley is keyed on, and the loose pulley 
slipped on, then the outside hanger 
is bolted on to support the end of 
driving shaft. 




12.. Bevel rack (fig. 3) to be bolted to the 

under side of Xo. 13. 

13-.The bed with the rack secured is laid 
in the roller frames Avhich lie in the 
ribs, the teeth of the rack coming in 
contact with the rack pinion, so that 
the small rollers at the end of the 
rack will come in the large space of 
the pinion. 

14.. .Bearers on bed, adjustable by thumb 

screws. 

15.. Cylinder bearings, adjustable by set 

screws. 

16.. Cylinder with wheel and finger mo¬ 

tion complete.

points placed in the chase, then 
place a sheet on the feed board, 
close the fingers on it, mark around 
the end and sides of the fingers 
wdth a pencil and run the sheet 
through the press ; lay the sheet on 
the board, then turn the press so 
that the fingers close upon the sheet 
exactly on the pencil marks without 
drawing it forward, and the punc¬ 
tures made on the paper by the small 
points in the chase will be the places 
for making the holes in the feed 
board.

As the name indicates, it is on the rotary ])rinciple, the forms being secured on tlie 
surface of two large horizontal cylinders. This system, as it does away with the 
reciprocating motion, admits of a greater speed in printing than any other. The 
distribution of the ink also is more perfect, there being room for six or more ink 
rollers to each form. It is equally well adapted to letter-press, stereotype and 
wood cut work, and will print from l,o00 to 2,000 perfected sheets per hour, the 
only limit to its speed being the capability of the feeder to supply the sheets. 

As it dispenses Avith the registering apparatus, and is furnished with our 
patent self-acting sheet flyer, only one attendant is required for the largest sized 
press.

^0ur Roller Jrhtthtg 

This Machine is particularly adapted to fine book and cut work. The bed is 
impelled by a crank and lever placed below it, which obviates the necessity ot 
bed-springs, and gives to it a slow and uniform motion during the impression, but 
a quick return movement. The larger sizes have four inking rollers, and also a 
pointing apparatus, and as the impression cylinder is stationary while the fingers 
close on the sheet, a jierfect register is insured. The fingers never require shifting, 
whatever the size of the form, and the sheet flyer is so arranged that no tapes are 
used on the press ; this makes it very convenient for job work.

38.. Guage Rack working into a segment 

on the cylinder. When this rack is 
put in couuectiou with the segment 
on the cylinder, it must be in gear 
at the end furthest from the side of 
the bed, that is, where the teeth fill 
the spaces, and in such a manner as 
to divide the play in the outside wheels. 

39.. 5.ring to raise lever No. 21. 

40 -. Springs to bear on the end of the iron 
vibrating roller; small steel centres 
are put in each end to come in contact 
with the spring which serves to return 
the action.

is now adjusted, and the whole 
machine is completed. 

47--To find the place on the feed board for 
the points of the register to work 
through, you must have the small 
points ])laced in the chase, then place 
a sheet on the feed boai'd, close down 
to the feed guides, and mark with 
a pencil around it on the feed board: 
then run the sheet through the press 
and lay it on the feed board again 
exactly by the marks of pencil, and 
the puncture made on the paper by 
the small points in the chase will be 
the place for making the holes in the 
feed board.

Itmtions f(rr 



eatrg for t\t felittbrr Srcso. 


Make clean the bed of the press and the impression 
segment of the cylinder. Adjust the bearers a trifle 
above ordinary type height. See that the impression 
screws have an even bearing on the journals, and that 
the cylinder fairly meets the bearers. Select a suitable 
tympan or impression surface. This tympan may be 
the India-rubber cloth which is furnished with the 
press, a thick woolen lapping cloth or blanket, several 
sheets of thick, calendered printing paper, or one or 
more smooth and hard pre.ss boards. Each of these 
substances lias merits not to be found in any other. 
Upon the proper selection of the tympan the press- 
work in a great measure depends, and the pressman 
should tlierefore be careful in making choice. 

A press board tympan is most suitable for wood-cuts, 
for perfectly new type, and for the best kinds of press- 
work. It is not suitable for miscellaneous work, nor 
for heavy forms, nor for forms of mixed old and new 
type. If the overlaying is properly executed, a press- 
board tympan will enable the pressman to show a 
sliarper edge and a more delicate impression of the 
type than is possible with any other. Although contrary 
to a common belief, it need not wear the type. In all 
cases, however, a press-board packing compels a 
tedious and careful making ready. If this is neglected 
it may prove verj’ destructive to the type. 

A woolen blanket is best adapted for old stereotype 
plates, for old tj'pe that has been rounded on the 
edges, for posters with large wood-type, and for all 
common work which requires a firm, solid, dull im¬ 
pression. For such work a woolen blanket will enable 
the pressman to make ready a form more quickly 
than any other, but it is injurious to new type, and 
does not give a fine and sharp impression. 

Thick paper is much used for book-work, and also 
answers well for scrijit circulars and leaded forms. 
It does not serve so good a purpose with mixed old 
and new type, nor for table-work with unequal heights 
of brass rule, nor for mixed large and small tyqje. It 
will prove most serviceable for open forms of new type. 

The India-rubber cloth combines many good quali¬ 
ties not found in other tympans, having the density 
of press-board, the hardness and evenness of paper, and 
the flexibility of the blanket, combined with an elas¬ 
ticity peculiarly its own. It is adapted to a greater 
variety of work than any other; posters, script circulars, 
news and book forms, stereotj-pe plates, and old or new 
type, can all be well printed with an India-rubber 
blanket. When it is intended to make one tympan 
or packing answer for all kinds of work, the India-rul)- 
ber blanket will be found decidedly superior to all others; 
but when very extra presswork is wanted, the tympan 
must be particularly adapted to the form of type. 

There are forms for which none of these tympans 
are specially suitable. For such cases careful pressmen 
combine two or more together, as Welsh flannel over 
rubber, or thin rubber over press-board or under paper. 
These, however, are exceptional cases, and only occur 
when very good presswork is to be obtained from im¬ 


perfect materials. Careful observation of the peculiarity 
of the impression given by each kind of tympan, will 
better teach a pressman how to combine them to the 
best advantage, than any arbitrary rule. 

Whatever be the material selected, it must be 
stretched very tightly over tlie cylinder. All labor 
in overlaying is but thrown away if this be not care¬ 
fully attended to. A rubber or woolen blanket can be 
secured at one end of the cjTinder by small hooks 
projecting inward, and laced tightly with saddler’s 
thread at the other end; or, by sewing on that end of 
the blanket a piece of canvas, it may be wound tightly 
around the reel and kept secure by the pawl and 
ratchet. 

Paper and press-boards require a different process. 
Take a piece of nonpareil cherry reglet of the full 
length of the cylinder. Trim down the paper or press- 
board to the wddth of the bed between the bearers, 
but leave it a little longer than the impression segment 
of the cylinder. Then crease tlie press-board at a 
uniform distance of half an inch from tlie narrower 
end, and lay this creased part on the flat edge of the 
impression segment of the cj’linder under the grip¬ 
pers. Put the reglet over this and bring down the 
clamps firmly on the reglet so as to bind all securely. 
When this is done, a thin web of muslin may be 
stretched over the whole in the same way in which 
a blanket is laid on, and rolled up tightly, which will 
prevent any slipping of the board or of the overlays 
that may be pasted on it. 

A large poster or newspaper form, or any large form 
with old type, will require a soft roller with much 
suction. Book-work, wood-cuts, or fine job work will 
require a harder roller, with a very smooth, elastic and 
clinging surface. Colored inks are best printed with 
a still harder roller and with much less suction. All 
rollers should be perfectly clean and free from cracks 
and holes. The suitableness of these rollers cannot 
be explained bj- words; such a knowledge will be best 
acquired by observation and experience. It may, 
however, be necessary to state that one roller will not 
answer for all sorts of press-work; the quality of the 
work, the size and condition of the type and the speed 
of the press must guide the pressman in his (choice. 

Posters with large wood type require a semi-fluid 
ink, but one not surcharged with oil. Ordinary news- 
work requires a better quality, more tacky and finely 
ground. Good book-work should have a still stiffer 
bodied ink, soft, smooth, and readily distributed. 
Job ink, which is made expressly for press-work on 
dry paper, should be used only for such work. Book 
and job inks are not convertible ; an ink for wet paper 
will not work well on dry paper, and vice versa. 
Very fine press-work, such as wood-cuts, or letter-press 
upon enamelled paper, calls for an ink impalpably fine, 
of brilliant color, of strong body, yet soft enough to 
be taken up smoothly on the inking rollers. The high¬ 
est grades of Parsons & Fletcher's wood-cut ink wilt 
be found well adapted for such work. 















R. Hoe &. Co.. 29 and 31 Gold Street. New-York. -33 


Every job office should keep four grades of ink; 
News, Book, Job and Wood-cut. They can be mixed 
(if no ink manufacturer is near) with each other or 
reduced with varnish to suit different kinds of press- 
work. Good press-work is impossible without good inks. 

Charge the ink fountain with the ink selected, and 
keep it well covered, to protect it from paper dust. 
Turn down the screws and cut off all the ink evenly. 
When the form is ready turn on the ink cautiously, 
and wait for ten or twelve impressions before again 
altering the screws. For small forms and short num¬ 
bers of any job of press-work in colored ink or extra 
ink. a fountain is not necessary, as the ink may be 
applied with a brayer or palette knife. 

The regulation of the margin is the next process. 
Although type can be printed from anj- quarter of 
the bed, it will be found most convenient to lay all 
forms close to the back part of the bed, and midway 
between the bearers. This will secure a good impres¬ 
sion, give a fair average margin to every form and 
allow the full use of the bed for a large form, without 
re-setting the cylinder. Tlie bed and cylinder travel 
together, and the grippers, which bring down the sheet 
to the form, .should barely lap over the back part of 
the bed. So long as the toothed cylinder-wheel, and 
the short toothed rack on the side of the bed remain 
undisturl)ed. the grippers will always pass over the 
bed in exactly the same place. When the grippers are 
in this position, slightly lapping over the back of the 
bed, measure the distance between the back edge of 
the bed and the point of one of the nearest grippers, 
and with a piece of reglet cut a guage exactly cor¬ 
responding to this measurement. Let no form be laid 
upon the press until the space between the tyx)e and 
the edge of the chase tallies with the guage. This 
will prevent the grippers from closing on the form and 
crushing it. If the chase will not admit of so wide a 
margin, or if an extra margin is wanted on the sheet, 
put a piece of furniture of the extra width behind the 
chase. The margin can thus be increased or dimin¬ 
ished at pleasure. 

A book-form may Ite locked up in a cha.se .so large 
and with the type so far from the frame that the 
grippers will bring down the sheet in such a position 
that it will be printed with the margin all on one side. 
To remedj’ this the cylinder must be re-set. Proceed 
thus ; remove the screw and washer at the end of the 
cylinder-shaft and draw the intermediate wheel out of 
gear; loosen screws in the guage rack ; then turn the 
cylinder to the point requireil, connect the intermediate 
wheel, adjust the guage rack and screw up tight. 

The press having been adjusted, next examine the 
form to be printed. Not only see that it is guaged cor¬ 
rectly, but also that it is not locked up too tightly, that 
cha.se, quoins, letter and furniture are all level and lie fiat 
upon the bed. If the fonn springs, the quoins must be 
slackened; if this loosens the type too much, the justifi¬ 
cation should Ite amended. Make clean the tj-pe by 
rubbing it over with a dry brush. The rollers are 
often made foul and the color of the ink changed by 
dust and particles of dirt clinging to the type. 

Fasten the form so securely on the bed that it will 
not be moved by the action of the cylinder or the 
rollers. Take a proof on its own paper, using very 
little ink. Adjust the drop guides so as to bring the 
sheet exactly in the right jHisition. Push out the iron 
tongues at the edge of the feed-lx)ard at equal dis¬ 
tances from each other, so that they will sustain the 
paper evenly. Slide the drop guides along the rod, until 
they fall squarely over the tongues. Set the side guide 
so that it will give a true margin in length to the sheet 
to be printed. Adjust the grippers so that they will 


seize the sheet at proper intervals, making the margin 
exactly even by lengthening or shortening the drop 
guides. Then take a clean proof on its own paper, 
exactly in the right position before making ready, and 
show it to the reader. It often happens that an error 
in the margin, or an imperfection in the register is 
thus noticed, and its timely discoverj’ and correction 
before overlaying will save much time and trouble. 
A readable proof may be taken before overlaying by 
running through a sheet or two of thick proof paper. 
Make register, if it is a book form, before overlaying. 

When everything has been found correct, then pro¬ 
ceed to regulate the impression. If the type is fair 
the proof should show a decently uniform impression. 
But if the form is large, or if it contains old and new, 
or large and small type, then the proof will show an 
uneven impression. To rectifj- this inequality, press¬ 
men use three exxtedients— 

1. By lowering the bearers and putting on more 
impression. This is a very poor way, for it wears down 
new tj-pe in order to show the face of the old, and 
invariablj' produces thick and coarse press-work. 

2. By raising the low type to proper height by 
placing thicknesses of paper under them, which is 
called Underlaying. 

3. By giving additional thickness to the tympan over 
such parts of the form as show a weak impression, 
which is called Overlaying. 

It is seldom that any one of these methods will prove 
sufficient; all should be used together. When the 
larger part of the proof sheet shows a weak impression, 
approaching illegibility, then more impression should 
be added. When one side of the proof sheet shows a 
weak impression, while that on the other side is full 
and clear, then more impression should be given the 
pale side. The impression should be made decently 
uniform before any attempt at overlaying or under¬ 
laying. But the bearers should follow the impression 
screws, both being raised and lowered together, in 
order to secure the type from the unimpeded force of 
the impression cylinder. The bearers should be of 
even height, and the cylinder shaft should always 
revolve on a true level. If the impression screws are 
carelessly used, and the bearers are rashly raised and 
lowered, this even bearing will soon be lost; the diffi¬ 
culty of obtaining a good impression will be much 
increased, and the press will receive a serious injury. 
For the same reason the bearers should never be 
packe<l with cards, as is usual on a hand press, for it 
strains the cylinder and all its Itearings with an irregu¬ 
lar resistance. The bearers should be tampered with 
even less than the impression screws. When the latter 
are so set that the cylinder gives a fair, uniform 
impre.ssion. thej' have done all tliat can be expected. 
an<l nothing more should be attempted with them. 
Sometimes the proof may show tliat one cut, or a line 
of type, or a set of brass rules is higher than any other 
material in the fonn. The impression sliould be set 
regardless of tliis; it will be found quicker and neater 
to reduce flie impre.ssion on one or two such high lines 
by cutting out the tympan sheet over them than it 
would be to underlay and bring up all other types to 
such an irregular height. Adjust the impression so 
that it will face the larger portion of the type, and make 
the less conform to the greater. Those parts which are 
high must be cut out of the tj-mpan, those which are 
low shouhl be raised by underlays; the inequalities 
should be smoothed by overlays. 

When any part of the form is low, it will not answer 
to attempt facing it with overlays ; it must be brought 
up to meet the inking rollers as well as the impression

cylinder. In .such case, cut out an impression of the 
form wiiere it is illegible, and then paste it to the 
bottom of the type. If some types are high and 
some are low, make proper distinction, and carefully 
avoid increasing the height of any type or rule which 
seems to have a full impression. Pursue the same 
course when a marked depression appears in the centre 
or a fading impression at the edges. Cut out that 
section which is light, and place it under the defective 
part. If the impression grows faint in any part, 
tlie underlays must be cut of irregular thickness to 
suit the fading away of the impression. Cut out an 
underlay from the edge where the Impression begins 
to be light; then cut anotlier of smaller size where 
it is quite illegible; paste one over the other, laying 
them carefully in their proper positions, and then paste 
them all on the bottom of the form where it is needed, 
taking care to lay the_ smallest underlaj’ nearest the 
bed. This will restore the type to a proper level, and 
the ne.xt proof should show a uniform impression. The 
same plan will answer for a low corner. Use as little 
paste as possible, thin and free from lumps. Be careful 
that the underlays are put on smoothly without fold or 
wrinkle. Cut them all from a proof, which serves as a 
guide both in cutting and in affixing to the form. 

Underlaying should not be practiced to any great 
extent tipon a cylinder press. It is a valuable means 
of l)ringing up an old line of type, a hollow or a low 
corner. The underlays of any type form should not 
constitute more than one-fourth of the surface; if 
more than this is attempted, tltey rarely fail to work up 
the quadrats and furniture. The action of the quickly 
moving cylinder upon a form of type underlaid with 
yielding paper, will create a springing and rocking of 
all the materials in tlie chase. 

Of all materials, old stereotype plates need underlays 
most, as they are usually quite irregular in height. 
Thin card or paste-board will be found preferable to 
paper for the underlaying of plates secured on wood 
bodies. When the plates are on patent blocks, always 
underlay between the plate and the block. Always 
cut the underlay for a plate less in size than the faint 
impression would seem to require; this will allow for 
the spring of the plate. If it is cut of full size, the 
next impression will disappoint the pressman by being 
much harder at the edges than he intended. Never 
attempt to build up a type form to a proper impression 
entirely or chiefly by underlaying. 

Underlays should be put under all large and bold¬ 
faced types, when used with much smaller types, so 
as to raise them above the level of the others. This is 
needed to give it closer rolling, extra supply of ink, 
and that extra force of impression to transfer the ink to 
paper which all large type requires. 

When the type has been so levelled by underlays 
that all parts receive proper bearing from the inking 
rollers, and when tlie cylinder has a correspondingly 
even impression, then overlaying may be commenced. 
For ordinary news-work, posters or job-work, over 
laying may be entirely unnecessary ; the tapes and fly 
may be set, and the printing of the form may proceed 
without further delaj'. But fine press-work cannot be 
done without overlays. Underlays are chiefly valua¬ 
ble for securing an even impression, while overlays 
are indispensable for the giving of delicacy and finish. 

To overlay a form properly the tjunpan should be 
covered with a sheet of a thin, smooth and hard paper, 
stretched tightly. Then take a pale impression on 
the tympan sheet, and also run through the press two 
or three proofs on thin and hard paper. Examine 
the proofs carefully on face and back. If any brass 
rules or letters appear too high, cut them out of the 


Gold Street, New-York. 

tympan sheet in one or two thicknesses, as their vary¬ 
ing height may require. Go over the whole proof, 
examining every line carefully, and by cutting out 
reduce the impression on all projecting letters to a 
uniform standard. For this, as for all other work on 
j overlays, use a sharp knife with a thin point, and cut 
1 on a smooth surface, so that there will be no dragged 
I nor torn edge to the cut. 

The next step should be to raise the impression of 
[ those parts of the form where the type appears dull 
1 or weak. Cut out carefully and paste the overlays 
smoothly upon the tympan. Overlays are worse than 
useless if they are not laid on firmly and neatly, 
as the slightest bagginess will cause slur or mackle. 
If, by accident, the tympan sheets or overlays should 
bag or wrinkle, tear them off and commence anew, 
j Cut out and overlay the more prominent parts first. 

I Then try another impression, and from that cut out new 
j overlays for minor defects. Thus proceed until a 
perfectly smooth and even impression is obtained, 
j With common work it will be sufficient to cut over- 
] lays in masses, as pages or parts of pages, but with 
I fine work every line and letter needs examination, and 
letters and parts of single letters are often overlaid 
by careful pressmen. When the pressman is expert 
at making ready, it is not necessary to take a new 
impression with every successive set of overlays. Many 
pressmen take a dozen proofs of a form on different 
styles of paper, and proceed to cut out and overlay on 
one of the proofs, and finally paste tliis proof on the 
tympan. But this boldness and precision can be 
j acquired only by long practice. It is better for tiie 
young pressman to feel Ids way step by step. 

1 

; The Impression. —A difference of opinion exists 
among good printers as to the force needed for a fine 
i impression. By some a heavy and solid indention of 
j the paper is considered necessary, while others insist 
that an impression whicli does not indent the paper is 
preferable. The indention of the paper is no test of 
the force of the impression. A light impression 
against a woolen blanket will show more forcibly than 
a strong impression against a paper or pasteboard 
tympan. 

Type is worn out not so much by the direct impres¬ 
sion of the platen or cylinder on the flat face of the 
form as by a grinding or rounding impression on the 
edges of the type, caused by the forcing of tlie blanket 
between the lines and around the corners of every 
letter. Every font of worn-out type, whether from 
cylinder or platen press, has suffered less from a reduc- 
ction in height than from a rounding of the edges. When 
the type is new and the tympan hard and smooth, the 
impression can be made so flat that the type will not 
round at tlie edges, and the impression wdll not show on 
the paper. But this cannot be done with old type or 
with a soft tympan ; the impression must be regulated 
to suit the tympan. On fine work a rounding impres¬ 
sion should be avoided, as it not only destroys type, 
but also thickens the hair lines and wears off the ceriphs. 

It is not sufficient that the paper should barely meet 
the type; there must be sufficient force in the impres¬ 
sion to transfer the ink from type to paper. If there 
is not sufficient impression it will be necessary to carry 
much ink on the rollers, and this produces two evils; 

I the tj'pe is clogged with ink and the form becomes foul; 
too much ink is transferred to the paper, which smears 
and sets off for want of force sufficient to fasten it to the 
paper. Distinction must be made between a light and 
weak impression, and a firm and even impression. The 
latter should be secured, even if the paper is indented, 
though that is not always necessar 3 '. A form of old

type, a poster or other solid form, must have a firm 
impression, or else a very tedious and careful makingf 
ready. 

The making ready of ■wood-outs is a branch of press- 
work by itself, requiring minute instructions and long 
practice. It will be sufficient to say that the pressman 
must follow the lead of tlie engraver in cutting his over¬ 
lays. Where the lines are thin, wide and sharp, tliey 
should be cut out of the tympan sheet; where they are 
close and solid, overlays sliould be pasted on, the 
number of overlays being regulated by the Idackness 
or lightness of each part of tlie cut. Tliese will suflice 
for plain cuts, but the management of perspe<’tive in a 
landscape, the subduing of a fore ground, the receding 
of shades, the distinction between sky, clouds, and 
water, are all materially affected by the slightest 
overlay. Wood-euts need good taste as well as 
acquired skill in the pressman. 

When the overlays have been securely fastened, draw 
over the tympan a piece of French copying paper, 
and paste tightlj-. Some pre.ssmen nicely graduate a 
decreasing or increasing boldness by inlaying between 
smooth sheets. 

To Set New Tapes —Pass the tape around and close 
to the cylinder. Lap it over one of the tape pulleys, 
and then pass it around the small guide p\illey on the 
shaft above. To increase its tightness, throw up the 
guide pulley from the shaft, and set the binding screw 


more tightly. All these pulleys are moveable on their 
shafts, and the distance between them may be altered 
at pleasure. Let the tapes rest upon the outer margin 
of the sheet, and see that the overlays on the tj-mpan 
over which the tapes pass are of equal thickness ; if 
not of equal thickness, the sheet will wrinkle. 

To Set the Fly.—R un through a sheet of the paper 
to be printed, and let it run down the tty so far that it 
is barely held by the fly pulleys. Then set the cam 
which works the tty, so that its point just clears the 
small friction roller on the shaft, and it will throw 
down the sheet correctly. Tighten the spring accord¬ 
ing to the size of the sheet, and set tlie spring crank so 
that it will prevent the tty from striking tixi hard 
on the table. 

Gootl press-work does not depend entirely upon the 
press, nor yet upon the workman, nor the materials. 
Nor will a superiority in any one point compensate for 
a deficiency in another; the newest type will suffer 
from a poor roller, and the most careful making ready 
will be thrown away if poor ink be used. It is necessary 
that all the materials should be good; that they should 
be well ailapted to each other, and fitly used. A good 
workman can do much with insufficient materials, but 
there are cases where a failure to comply with one 
condition is equal to a neglect of all. 


Iirccti0its for jHalung itnb llrcscrbht^ Composition Rollers. 


For Cylinder Press Rollers, Xo. 1 X glue is 
good enough for ordinary purposes, and will 
be found to make as durable rollers as that 
of a higher price. 

Place the glue in a bucket or pan and 
cover it with water; let it stand half an hour, 
or until about half saturated, care being taken 
not to let soak too long; then pour oft’ and let 
it remain until it is soft. Put it in the kettle 
and cook until thoroughly melted, adding, if 
too thick, a little w'ater to make it of proper 
consistency. The molasses may then be 
added and well mixed with the glue by fre¬ 
quent stirring. When properly prepared, the 
composition does not require boiling more 
than an hour. Too long boiling candies the 
molasses, and the roller consequently 'will be 
found to lose its suction much sooner. In 
proportioning the material, a good deal 
depends upon the weather and temperature 
of the place in which the rollers are to be 
used. Eight pounds of glue to one gallon 
of sugar-house molasses or syrup, is a very 
good proportion for Summer, and four pounds 
of glue to one gallon of molasses, for Winter 
use. 


For Hand Press Rollers use more molasses, 
as they are not subject to such hard usage 
as cylinder press rollers, and do not require to 
be as strong; for the more molasses that can 
be used the better is the roller. Hefore pour¬ 
ing a roller, the mould should be perfectly 
clean, and well oiled with a swab, but not to 
excess, as too much oil will make the face 
seamy and ragged. 

Rollers should not he washed immediately 
after use, but should be put away with the ink 
on them, as it protects the surface from the 
action of the air. When cleaned and exposed 
to the atmosphere for any length of time they 
become dry and skinny. They should be 
washed about half an hour before using them. 
In cleaning a new roller, a little oil rubbed over 
it will loosen the ink, which should then he 
scraped with the back of a case knife. After 
treating it in this way for about one week, 
lye may be used. Xew rollers are often 
spoiled by washing them too soon with lye. 
Camphene may be substituted for oil, but 
owing to its combustible nature it is objec¬ 
tionable.

This Machine is a Single Small Cylinder Press, haAnng the bed sufficiently long to 
receive tAvo forms, and provided with two ink fountains, each one of which inks its 
corresponding form. The sheet is fed and taken by fingers in the usual manner; 
but, after receiving an impression from the first form, instead of being throMTi off, 
is held by the fingers and continues to revolve with the cylinder, thus receiving 
an impression from the second form as it passes under. The fingers then open, 
the sheet is earned out and is laid doAA n by the flyer in the ordinaiy manner. 
In this way the two colors are printed at one operation and in perfect register, 
without any pointmg being required. 

Machines on the same plan are made to print two, three or four colors, as oi'dered. 
Each Machine is furnished with Blanket, Counter Shaft, two Hangers and 
Pulley.

This Press is especially designed to supply Newspapers of moderate circulation 
witli a cheap and plain, but ser\'iceable Printing Machine, capable of domg also 
the ordinary Job Work of a country office. It is designed to run exclusively by 
band, at a speed of 700 or 800 impressions per hour, and at this rate will work 
without noise or jar. 

The bed is earned by a truck having large friction rollers running on a Railway 
(whence the name of the press), and is driven backward and forward by a crank 
motion which stops and starts it so gently that the bed-springs, usually employed, 
are not needed. The paper is fed through adjustable guides to the under side of 
the impression cylinder, and the feed-board lifts the sheet up over the guides and 
against the cylinder as the fingers of the latter clasp it. After an impression is 
given, the impression cylinder remains stationary while the bed returns ; a fresh 
sheet is in the meantime laid on the feed-board, and the fingers close on it before 
the cylinder starts again. As the cylinder wheel gears directly into a rack on the 
side of the bed, excellent register is obtained without a pointing apparatus, which, 
however, is furnished without charge. The bed is provided with iron bearers to 
equalize the impression on the form. The impression cylinder is never shifted to 
suit forms of different sizes, but the forward edge of the type is always placed to 
the same line on the bed, and the fingers and fly tapes are as easily adjusted as 
on our ordinary job presses. 

The ink fountain has the adjustable knife so necessary to job work. The bed 
is 31X46 inches ; a form 27^X42 inches is inked by one roller, and a form 23X42 
inches by two rollers. The press has our self-acting sheet-flyer, and can be run 
easily and safely by one man or strong boy at the speed mentioned above. It 
occupies a space oixiO feet, and can be worked in a room 7 feet high. Weight, 
boxed, 5,600 lbs.

Directions for Working. 

Put the form on the press at the fly-board 
end, bearing in mind that the printing cylin¬ 
der in relation to the bed cannot be altered. 
Should more margin be required than Avill 
enter into the fingers, moA'e the form back 
from the fingers; and if a form of book-Avork 
with the matter locked up to the cross bars 
of the chase be put on, back oft’ the chase- 
plates until the matter comes sufliciently near 
to the fingers. One-half of the form can be 
planed doAvn at each end of the press, as on 
the ordinary cylinder press. 

The blankets are the same as those ordina¬ 
rily used for the same kind of Avork ; \\z .; a 
vulcanized rubber or cloth, and a muslin or pa¬ 
per tympau over it. One blanket may be kept 
for the neAVspaper and another for job forms. 

The inking arrangement is much the same as 
on our other presses. The inking rollers are 
put into their sockets from below,Avhenthe bed 
is at the opposite end of the press, as in ordi¬ 
nary cylinder presses. The front feed-guides 
may be uncovered by simply draAving back the 
feed-board a little, and raising the foi Avard end. 

Large bills and posters Avith heavy type, on 
Avhich tapes cannot be used, are floAvn by hand 
by simply remoA’ing the sheet-flyer and tape 
pulley shaft near it, and slipping all the tapes 
to the side of the press. The cam, Avhich 
opens the fingers ordinarily, is also removed, 
so that the fingers before opening draAv the 
sheet entirely off the form, and carry it around 
until the cylinder stops. The back end of the 
sheet is thus brought up so high on the cylin¬ 
der as to be easily taken by a boy, (or a boy on 
each side if the sheet be large) draAvn back 
off the cylinder Avhile it remains stationary, 
and laid on the fly-board printed side up.

when desired, the impression may be suspended without stopping the running gear, 
and advantage taken of this to pass the rollers again OA^er the form. A self¬ 
changing tympan sheet is attached to the platen. 

Within the past three or four years A'arious improvements have been made in 
the distribution, especially of the four and six roller presses, by Avhich its efficiency 
has been greatly increased, and in addition much trouble has been spared the press¬ 
man by the substitution of composition rollers in place of cloth rollers, and by the 
introduction into the six roller presses of A'ibrating Avooden cylinders instead of the 
incoiiA’enient layers of small rollers. 

We IniA-e recently constructed a fountain for expensiAX* colored Avork, in Avhich 
the ink lies upon the knife in full vieAv, so that very little is required to start the 
press. It is quickly cleaned and without Avaste of ink. For prices, see table on 
page 47. 

To the matter of Pointing, also, Ave have given some attention, and Ave have 
prepared and patented seAxral attachments designed to meet acknoAAdedged Avants. 
The first are adjustable points, capable of being set in much greater variety of 
positions than the points ordinarily required. The second is an apparatus for 
setting the points Avithout raising the tympan or stopping the press, and for holding 
them firmly in place; it is operated by thumb screAvs in the edge of the tympan. 
The third is a self-pointer ; it consists of an arm SAvinging on a pivot at the 
farther edge of the tympan, and carrying several brushes or springs, Avith Avhich, 
at the right moment, the sheet is pressed doAvn upon the points, thus sparing the 
feeder the fatigue and frequent ill results of leaning over a AA’ide feed-board. The 
fourth is similar in construction to the one just described, and is intended to punch 
holes for the folding machine points ; any number of holes may be made in any 
part of the sheet. For prices, see page 47. 

The strength and solidity of these presses have been greatly augmented to adapt 
them to the heavy cut Avork which has lately become so common. A double 
medium, for example, Aveighs nearly a ton more than formerly. 

Our list of sizes on next page shoAvs a number of additions to the catalogue of 
four and six roller presses, and, it seems to us, cannot fail to meet every possible 
Avant.

Observe that all the connecting; parts are marked or indented by points. 

After setting the frame upon its legs and putting on the ribs and bed, lay the 
platen on the bed, placing under it two bearers abont type high. Then put the 
springs in their places and the nuts over them, and pass tlie suspending rods 
through them, observing to place the rods so that the indentations on them 
correspond with those on the platen. Give the nuts two or three turns, then run 
in the bed so as to bring the platen under the rods, and screw them fast to the 
platen, after which put in the bar-handle, standard and lever, (or wedge and knees 
if a Smith Press.) Turn the nuts on the suspending rods, so as to compress the 
springs just enough to give the platen a quick retrograde motion, observing at the 
same time to get the surface of the platen parallel with the surface of the bed. 

After having put the press together and levelled it, be particular not to raise the 
end of the ribs by tbe gallows, but let it go under rather loose, which will have a 
tendency to make the bed slide with more ease on the ribs. 

The size of the press is marked on the front end of the platen. 

Presses of large size destined for Mexico, South America, or other mountainous 
regions where there are no carriage roads, may have their frames made so that they

This machine consists of a cast-iron bed and railway, supported by a cast-iron 
frame. The solid iron cylinder is of weight sufficient to give the requisite impression; 
its surface is turned true and is covered with a blanket. The railway raises it 
above the level of the bed as much as the height of the type and the thickness of 
the galley bottom. 

The frame is furnished with a closet to hold the ink-roller and damp paper; the 
door, when let down, can be used as a distributing table. 

The machine should stand level, so that the cylinder will rest at either end. 
When a proof is wanted, place the galley on the bed, ink the matter, lay on the 
slip of paper, and roll the cylinder to the other end of the railway.

Ix consequence of the introduction of Avood-cut illustrations into the finest 
letter-press work, a greater distrihution of ink than has been heretofore obtained 
is rendered necessary. With this object m aucav we have constructed an Inkin 
Machine, to he attached to a hand press, to be driven by steam power. It has tw 
rollers to pass over the form, one or more times to each impression. The strongest 
inks may be used. The distribution is perfect, and uninterrupted hv the operation

By attaching this machine to a Washington or Smith hand press the pressman inks 
the form by the ordinary operation of the press, and gives at the same time a more 
perfect distribution. It is much more simple in its construction, regular in its

Take from the twx in a careful manner ; clean each part and laj- by itself. Be careful not to derange any part 
already connected. 

Bolt together the two side frames and cross pieces, as marked ; then put the piece marked R. Hoe & Co. across 
the top. and screw fast. Put the cloth roller in its place, hold it bm-k against the springs while the three inch 
distributing roller is put in and screwed fast. The Iwck shaft, with levers attached, should next be put in its place, 
the caps screwed down, and the weights put on by l>earing down the ends of the levers that the chains are hooked 
to. until the opposite end is sufficientlj- raised ; slide them" on as marked, make fast, and lower them carefully on to 
the stud screwed to the side frame for that purpose. Then hook the chains to the levers as marked, connect the 
opposite end of the leather cord to the shaft on the distributing roller, by putting it through the hole from the side 
marked with a point until it comes to a piece of twine that is tied around it; then turn the set screw in the end of 
the sliaft and make it fest. The roller carriage should next be attached to ttie lever on the weight sliaft and pla<-ed 
upon its bearings, and the sliding rod. that works through a projection of the same piece, put in its place; this 
prevents the carriage from running out. The fountain may now be put into its place. Put the counter balance on, 
so that the two dots shall come together, and make it fast by turning the set screw in the lever. 

The machine must be placed behind the press as near to the bed as possible, while allowing the bed to pass 
without touching; two wrought iron bearers are to be laid, one across each end of the bed. exactly the proper 
distance apart, so as to receive the wheels of the roller carriage. When it is required to work with an old press, 
notches must be cut through the comer irons on the side towards the machine, to receive the bearers ; but when 
the press and inker are ordered together the comer irons are fitted for the bearers, which have only to l)e placetl in 
the notches. The machine must be leveleil up so that the two projecting pieces, on which the wheels of the roller 
carriage rest, shall be exactly on the same level as the bearers, and stand parallel with the bed, so that the wheels 
of the roller carriage will run true on the bearers.

The large distributing cylinder, wbicli is turned by a crank, vibrates. There 
are two rollers to ink the form, unless the order be for one roller only, moving in a 
carriage with four wheels, those on one end being plain, those on the other having 
a projecting flange. Two wrought iron rails lie on the bed, outside of the chase; 
one of them grooved to receive the projecting flanges on one pair of the wheels, 
the other level on the surface. Projecting from the frame are two short rails, on 
which the wheel rests while the rollers are receiving ink from the cylinder. The 
machine must he set up behind the press so that the short rails on it agree exactly, 
both in height and width, with the rails on the bed of the press when it is run out. 
The journal boxes of the inking rollers have adjusting screws, so that they may 
hear more or less on the type, as circumstances require.

The bundle of papei* is placed on the bank, and b'd in quires, either open or 
folded, to guides on the feed-table. At the proper time the table advances and 
enters the paper between two cylinders covered with felt, the lower one of which 
runs in a trough of water. As the paper issues from these cylinders, it passes 
between a top and bottom sprinkler, by which additional water can be put on, and 
the quantity can be regulated at pleasure. The paper is then conveyed by cords 
to a sheet-flyer, which lays it on a table suspended on springs. These springs are 
quickly adjustable to suit the weight of the pa])e7-, so that the table falls as the 
weight increases, and thus keeps the top of the pile always at the same height.

ifircuhtr i^uabrats 


Are the ueatest, I'heapest, au<l most trustworthy 
material for printing- curved lines. The alxtve impres¬ 
sions taken from them will .show their construction. 
They are ma<le from type metal of unusual hardness and 
solidity, carefully finished, and are of various sizes, 
so as to form circles or parts of circles from 1 to 2-1 
inches in diameter. Each piece is marked with a dis¬ 
tinct number, and is exactly one-eighth of a full circle, 
so that when combined with similar pieces, quarter, 
half, three-quarter and full circles can be constructed. 
By reversing the combination of some of the pieces, 
serpentine and eccentric curves may be made of any 
length or depth. 

There are two kinds : Inner Quadratu, with convex 
surface, and Outer (Quadrats with concave surface, as 
may be seen above. The curved line is produced by 
pla(-ing the convex and concave surfaces parallel to 
each other, so that when locked up they hold firmly the 
tvpe inserted between them. The other sides of the 
quadrats are fiat and right-angled, to allow a close 
intro<luction of type, and an easy justification with 
common quadrats. 

Directions for composing Circular qu.\i)K.cts 
for the ordinary size of one-fourth circle. 

Select two outer quadrats, each marked with the 
same number and of the length required. Join the 
smaller ends and justify the extremities carefully with 
ordinary quadrats. Set the line of type in the hollow 
of the curve, but without justification ; then insert two 
inner quadrats, of the same number, of smaller size 
than the outer quadrats. The size of the inner quad¬ 
rats will depend upon the size of the t 3 -pe. .4 line of 
canon will require smaller inner quadrats than -would 
be needed for a line of pica, and vice versa. As the one 
increases the other diminishes. An ordinary clock 
dial will afi'ord a good illustration. The space between 
the numerals X and I is one-fourth of a circle The 
curved line described around the foot of these numer¬ 


als is much less than the curve at the top. If the size 
of the numerals from X to I is decreased, the inner curve 
will be greater ; if it is increased, it will be less. This 
will explain why the inner quadrats should be of less 
size than the outer, and how the curve of the inner 
quadrat can be made perfectly parallel with the curve 
of the outer quadrat. When it is so made the quadrats 
bind the tj-pe firmly in everj’ part, and the line of type 
may be justified at the ends. 

.As the sizes of type vart- with different foundries, 
it will often be found that the inner quadrat of the 
nearest .suitable size will not meet the type in every 
part. This diflScultj' maj- be obviated bj* introducing 
slips of card of the same length as the line of type, thus 
increasing the distance between the quadrats until the 
curved surfaces are perfectl.v parallel with each other. 
The line of type should not be justified until thej- are 
paralleL Wlien the inner and outer quadrats are thus 
adapted to each other, thej- will not only bind the tj*pe 
firmlj’, but will also present a perfectlj’ flat and square 
surface on the other side. Unless they are parallel on 
the inner sides and flat and square on the outer sides, 
the justification is not good ; and the remedj- must be 
found in changing the size of the inner circle, or in 
increasing the distance between the curved lines bj- 
the use of larger type, or by paper or card board. 
When thus composed the type will be perfectly tight 
and secure, and the curved line strictly accurate. 

As these quadrats are perfect segments of a large 
circle, they cannot be increased or diminished without 
destroying the truth of the curve. If the thin ends 
are pieced out with common quadrats, good justifica¬ 
tion will be rendered impossible; if thej- are shortened 
by cutting off, they are ruined. Bits of lead or short 
pieces of card between the curved surfaces are also 
wrong; thej’ destroy that exact parallelism which is 
necessary for the security of the type. Accurate 
justification of the outer extremities of the quadrats 
is also indispensable.

This is a simple yet powerful Press. When filled, it is first run up by the fly¬ 
wheel crank ; next, as the pressure increases, by the handles in the rim of the 
wheel; and, finally, by a lever operating the j)awls which work into the large 
tooth-wheel, and which are so arranged as to work the Avheel with the backward 
as well as the forward motion of the lever.

This is an exceedingly strong, simple and effective machine, which will cut the 
heaviest work with ease and precision. The knife is brought doAvn obliquely to 
exactly the desired position by a crank motion, Avhich returns it by a quick upward 
stroke and then stops. It is adjustable in height, but requires no other regulating 
for the various kinds of work ; is quickly taken off and replaced, and will stand at 
any point. The paper clamp is moved by screws operated by a hand wheel at 
the side of the machine. The rear guide is moved by a screw and small hand- 
wheel at the side of the table in front, and a side guide ensures the cutting of the 
work perfectly square.

The knite used in this uiachiiie is 21 inches long, and has a short ^^bratory 
movement, thus combining tlie advantages ot‘ the long stationary knife Avith those 
of the ordinary plough. Tlie work to be trimmed is placed on the bed of the press 
in front of the knife against the adjustable guide, and is compressed by the wheel 
and screw. The table on which the press stands is movable in all directions, and 
is also self-acting, so that when thrown into gear it rises to the required height, 
disengages itself, thus preventing injury to the knife, and then drops down to its 
original position. Three sides of the work can be successively presented to the 
action of the knife by simply turning the press to the quarter and half turn stops. 
The machine may be worked either by hand or steam poAver, and is easily adjusted 
to cut any size from three to eighteen inches in length, and from one inch to lifteen

This machine performs quickly and neatly the disagreeable operation of black- 
leading the wax moulds for electrotyping. The mould is placed on the turn-table 
of the traveling carriage, in front of the operating brush, under which it is passed 
slowly backwards and forwards by the motion of the crank. If the moulds are 
small, several may be placed in the machiue at once: one 12X18 inches can he 
blackened in two minutes. An apron under the machine catches the powder and 
prevents waste.

^ircctions for Stercotiiping 


To Frpjjaro tUo Fasto, 

Take 5 ozs. of flour, 7 ozs. of white starch, pow¬ 
dered alum the size of a walnut, and 4 quarts of 
water. Put the flour, starch and alum into a 
saucepan, and mix with a little of the water cold 
until the whole becomes of the consistency of 
thick cream. Then gradually add the remainder 
of the water, which must be boiliso, stirring 
well in the meantime to prevent its being lumpy. 
Put the saucepan over the fire and stir until it 
boils, then let it stand until quite cold, when it 
should have the appearance of jeUy. 'When you 
are ready to use the paste, mix together 1 pound 
esich of bookbinder’s paste and powdered Spanish 
whitening, and add this to the first mixture. Stir 
them well together, and strain the whole through 
a fine seive by rubbing it through with a piece of 
wood. The whitening should only be mixed with 
the paste in small quantities, or as required for 
use, as it will cause it to ferment in a day or two, 
and become unfit for use ; whereas the paste by 
itself will keep for a long time. Some few persons 
well versed in this process, use more whitening 
than recommended above. 

|uitaHp Fappr,. 

It is necessary that the proper kinds and quaU- 
ties of paper should be used. By using the speci¬ 
mens furnished with the apparatus as samples, 
there will be no difficulty in getting supplied at 
almost any stationers. 

Ta Fr^jarp tHp Fappr for thr JAatrw, 

Paste a piece of say quarto blotting paper evenly 
all over on one side. Put a layer of tissue paper on 
the top of that, gently smoothing with the hand,— 
this forms the face of the matrix,—turn over, paste 
the other side of the blotting paper, add a thin 
sheet of double crown, about 18 lbs. weight, paste 
again, then add another sheet, this forms the em¬ 
bryo matrix. Persons beginning this process 
should make the matrix thicker than here recom¬ 
mended by adding more blotting papers, which 
will of course take longer. It is preferable to have 
the paper for matrices prepared a day or two in ad¬ 
vance, and two plain type metal plates cast in the 
mould will be found very convenient to lay them 
between, to keep them flat and moist. 


(TV 

bn tbe papier l|acbe process. 


Ta Imjjasp tha faruu 

Impose the form with the type-high wood or 
metal furniture round the type, as you would put 
an ordinary rule border, putting the beveled edge 
close against the type; place the form on an impos¬ 
ing stone, or other flat surface, slightly loosening 
the quoins. You can make the type-high metal 
furniture yourself by casting it in the mould, 
using the thickest or heating gauge, then bevel the 
edge that goes against the type with plane and 
shoat-board. 


To jWauld th? 

t'ut a piece of the above prepared paper with 
scissors rather larger than the page to be stereo¬ 
typed. prepare the face, i. e., the tissue side, with 
powdered French chalk, gently but evenly brush¬ 
ing it over with the preparing brush. Lay the 
paper face downwards on the type—first oiling the 
type with a soft and clean shoe brush; use the best 
salad oil very sparingly, take a piece of coarse 
linen, dip it in cold water and wring it out, lay it 
over the back of the matrix, and commence gently 
beating it into the type, taking care to bring the 
beating brush down flat every stroke. When well 
beat in, paste a piece of cartridge paper on to the 
back of the matrix, and beat again without the 
cloth, then gently lift up one corner of the matrix 
to see if it is sufficiently deep, if not, beat again. 
If an open or rule-work form, gently prick the 
cartridge paper through where the open parts 
occur, to liberate the air. Extra depth may be had 
by packing between the matrix and cartridge paper 
small pieces of an old matrix that has been cast 
from, carefully pasting them to the matrix, taking 
care that the piece so pasted should not exceed 
half the size of the blank space. 

When experience is gained in moulding, the 
matrices are best made as follows: First, lay down 
a blotting paper and paste evenly, then add a tissue 
paper, then two more coatings of paste, and two 
more tissues, and keep between the metal plates 
till ready for use. Before using them, paste another 
tissue in front of the other three, oil your form 
and French chalk the face of the matrix as before, 
add several more blottings, and beat again at each 
layer; then tighten the quoins, and place form, 
with the matrix still on, under the 























128 K. Hoe Sc Co., 29 and 31 Gold Street. New-Yokk 


jMouldiiig 

The gas haviug been previously lighted, put a 
double thickness of blanket on the matrix, and 
screw down pretty hard, let it remain ten or fifteen 
minutes, unscrew the press, remove the blanket, 
and let the matrix dry about ten minutes, then 
remove the form and gently separate the matrix; 
it frequently occurs, until experience is obtained, 
that the matrix will not leave the type, in which 
case make the form once more hot, and plitngo 
form, matrix, and all into cold water, the matrix 
will then separate, but of course is destroyed, and 
a fresh one must be made; but this seldom, if ever 
occurs, after a little practice. 

If wood cuts, or forms with wood cuts are wanted 
to be done, the same process is applicable, except¬ 
ing that the matrix must be dried cold, and conse¬ 
quently takes much longer. 

fa Vraiiaia tlia jWati?!* ^ar lasting. 

Cut the matrix round with scissors, leaving 
about three pica ems of margin. Beat down with 
a hammer any raised inaccuracy caused by the 
imperfect joining of the high furniture, paste a 
piece of brown paper to the edge of the matrix, i. e. 
on the margin in front, lay it on the moulding 
press to get thoroughly warmed through. 

fo Fpppai|a tin? jttdat 

Old type or stereotyi^e plates melted down will 
answer every purpose. Be careful not to put 
damp pieces in the molten metal or it will cause it 
to fly. When old metal is used, it should be fluxed 
several times, and bear in mind, it is impossible 
to flux metal too much. Heat the metal quite 
hot (but not red hot), and throw on it about a 
table-spoonful of oil, and stir it well. Put in a 
little more oil and stir again, then throw a hand¬ 
ful of ashes over the metal and skim it, when it 
should look like quicksilver. The dirty oil from 
a press, an old oily rag, or in fact, almost any 
greasy substance will answer the xnirpose as well 
as the oil. If the metal hangs about the melting 
pot as though it was tinned, it is of poor quality, 
and if the flux does not set it right, it is nearly 
worthless, and the plates cast from it will be 
honeycombed. As fluxing the metal gives out a 
disagreeable smell, it is well to do it when the 
men are not at work; or what is better, have a 
small, portable, sheet-iron bonnet made to the 
melting-pot with a small door through which to 
flux and stir the metal, and a iripe leading to a flue 
or chimney to conduct off the odor from the flux. 
This bonnet must be lifted off when casting. To 
ascertair .he right heat of the metal, for casting, 
fold some writing or other paper into slips, dip it 
into the metal pot, and if it burns the paper black, 
the metal is too hot, and would burn your mould 
up; but if it turns it a straw color, it is just right. 


fh^ Juan lasting jWauljl. 

With every new apparatus, the paper back of the 
mould, i. e. the paper that is pasted on to the 
cover of the mould, is apt to come off, owing to 
the oil used in the process of manufacture. To 
paste a new back on, use the paste without the 
whitening, then evenly pajBte on a piece of blotting 
paper, and then two sheets of cartridge paper; 
bring them over the top, but not over the sides or 
bottom, and let them thoroughly dry, and then 
well rub with French chalk; it is a good plan to 
screw it down tight on the moulding i)ress for a 
few minutes, when cold. 

fo Ifast tlio Hato. 

Place the thick heating gauge in the casting 
mould, properly adjusted, and iiour it full of metal 
this win heat the mould, take away the heater and 
heating gauge, place the matrix in the mould, so 
that the paper hangs out of the mouth; then place 
the thin casting gauge round the three sides of the 
matrix, close to the work, and upon the margin, 
close the mould and screw it tight. Hold the over¬ 
hanging piece of paper in the left hand, and after 
skimming off the dross, pour a continuous stream 
of molten metal; the paper is simply to conduct 
the metal and to prevent its getting behind the 
matrix. It is not necessary to pour more than one 
heater, unless you suffer the mould to get cold. 

It is almost unnecessary to remark, that in hand¬ 
ling hot metal plates, furniture, &c., it is requisite 
to have holders, made of carpet, blanket, or any 
stout woolen fabric. 

fa |apat|at^ thp jWatuix fiPaia F lat^. 

Take your matrix and plate oiit of the mould, 
and seijarate them, but should they refuse to part, 
beat the matrix with the beating brush; if still 
obstinate, make the plate hot on the moulding 
press, and plunge into cold water, then put them 
with the matrix downmost in the hot moulding 
press, and press tightly with the hand, the steam 
will force the matrix from the plate, your plate 
will be good, but the matrix spoiled, and your 
having occasion to do so, is evidence that you 
have not correctly followed out these instructions; 
but should the matrix separate from the plate 
without any difficulty, you may cast some twenty 
or more plates from the same matrix. 

fa Fiipj)ai{p tin? faj{ BlaaHiag. 

Cut off the pour by scratching the hook along 
several times, and it will break from the plate by 
striking it sharply against the edge of the imposing 
surface, then plane all around close to the work 
with the plane and shoatboard, and your plate is 
ready for mounting; but if you require the plate 
for our patent stereotype blocks, use the bevel 
piane.

Ist. Take two p.arts of dry China clay of the finest 
quality and sift it through fine bolting cloth; then take 
one part of powdered soap stone, also sifted; mix them 
together with water until they are of the consistency 
of tough dough. In order to ensure a thorough mix¬ 
ture of the clay and soap stone, lumps of the dough, 
of a convenient size for handiing, should be splashed 
or beaten with considerable force on a marble slab or 
iron plate. These lumps should be laid away in a 
clean place, where no dust can get to them, for future 
use. A quantity of composition should be made at 
once, sufficient to last three or six months, as age 
materially improves its quality. It should never be 
used less than a month old. 

2d.—Place the form on the bed of the press; see 
that it is properly locked up, spaces down, etc., as is 
usual with plaster stereotyping; then take a fine goat- 
hair brush, dip it iightly into a little kerosene oil, which 
should be at hand, and brush the face of the type well 
with it. 

3d. In order to make the moulding composition of 
a proper consistency for use, take a lump, and if too 
dry, crush it on the marble slab; mix a little water 
cautiously with it until you can work it with consider¬ 
able labor with the trowel; then mix with it a little 
gum-arabic, dissolved in water, say a teaspoonful to a 
quarter of a pound of composition ; then spread out 
on the slab and sprinkle about a teaspoonful of fine 
plaster of Paris to every quarter of a pound of composi¬ 
tion ; pour a little more water on, and mix it well with 
the trowel. This should be done quickly, as the plas¬ 
ter is designed to harden the composition slightly 
during the process of moulding, for which it is now 
ready. 

jMauldiugv 

4th. The moulder will observe that there are two 
flat iron plates, one being one inch narrower than the 
other; take the smalier of the two, and with the 
trowel spread the moulding composition over it as 
evenly as possible. An absolutely even thickness is 
obtained by the levelling instrument, which is made to 
fit exactly the sides of this plate, and is drawn to and 
fro over the composition. 

5th. This iron plate, with the moulding material 
thus prepared, is set into the spring frame on the bed 
of the press, and kept steady by the thumb screw. 


The form having been previously brushed over with 
the kerosene oil, now cover it with a sheet of thin 
white paper, and over that with a piece of thin white 
muslin; then turn the plate over and take a light 
impression; run the bed back, lift the piate, and 
observe how far the impression has gone; take the 
muslin and paper off, brush the form lightly with the 
oil again, put on another piece of paper and cloth, 
laying the previous ones aside for future use; then 
run under again and take another light impression, 
being carefni not to go too far ; lift the moulding plate 
again, and take off both cloth and paper. This opera¬ 
tion is oniy to give depth to the spaces and blanks. 

Now bru.sh again with the oil, and take an impression 
into the clay, without any cloth or paper. This must 
be done lightly and with care, as, if the impression is 
too deep, the clay will tear out. It generally requires 
two or three impressions after the cloth and paper are 
removed to get a good mould, each impression being 
a little deeper than the preceding one ; by the time the 
last impression is made, the composition has become 
somewhat harder from the setting of the plaster of 
Paris. 

6th. After getting a good mould, clean the edges of 
the iron plate from the surplus composition, so that 
the bent wire may go around three sides. The iron 
plate, with the mould, should now be placed on the 
flat part of the metal furnace, and dried until no steam 
can be seen, when it must be taken off and placed on 
the top of the other flat iron plate, which is one inch 
larger, and the two placed on the melted metal, where 
they will float, with the face of the mould up. Here 
they must remain until the two plates and the mould 
are of the same temperature as the melted metal, 
which can be easily found by pouring a few drops on 
the cleared edge of the iron plate ; at first it will set 
then, when it is melted, the plates, with the mould, 
can be taken out. 

7th. Place the two plates on the upper edge of the 
metal pot; slide one off the other ; put the bent wire 
round the three sides of the mould; then with a pair 
of tongs put the larger plate on, so that three of the 
sides shall be even and the inch of extra width shall 
project over on the fourth side. Now clamp the three 
sides, and place the whole in the trough in an inclined 
position, the larger plate being at the back, pour in 
the melted metal, and, when full, sprinkld water on 
with the watering pot, commencing at the bottom, and 
gradually cooling up ; as the metal cools and shrinks, 
fill up with fresh metal. 

When the metal sets, take out the cast and wash out 
the clay with a brush and water.

This Saw is arranged specially for cutting stereotype plates, electrotype plates and 
work of a similar nature. The saw mandrel is of steel, and is driven by a treadle 
and belt tbrougb a heavy fly-Avheel, the momentum of which is sufficient to carry 
the saw through the work. This wheel is so balanced as to stand with the treadle 
raised from the floor, so that it is always in a position to start. The saw can be 
sharpened in place by pressing a wooden wedge between it and the slit in wdiich 
it nins. A glass pi'Otects the eyes of the operator from chips when the saAv is at 
work. For running by power, the fly-wheel and cranked shaft are replaced by an 
ordinary pulley and straight shaft, having tight and loose pulleys on its outer end. 
When so ordered, a cutter-head can be put on the outer end of the mandrel, with 
a small sliding table outside of it, as represented in the cut, for squaring up metal 
blocks for cuts, &c. Parallel gauge and square furnished when ordered.

BOXING AND SHIPPING, EXTKA. 


For a Daily Newspaper, the principal fonts should be increased thirty to 6fty per cent. Long Primer and 
Brevier are merely set down to give some idea of the cost: other sizes may be substituted, if preferred, the prices 
of which can be found by referring to our regular list of prices. 

Type for a Country Job Office, in addition to the above, will cost from $050 to $750, according to selection, or 
the character and quantity of work to be executed. $300 worth is sufficient for a small office. 

The following sizes of NEWSPAPER are always kept on hand:—22 X 32, 24 X 36. 24 X 38, 28 X 42. The 
following are also considered “ regular” sizes, though not so certainly kept on hand;—26 X 37, 27 x 42, 29 x 44. 

Newspaper Heads and all other descriptions of cuts are designed and engraved by us with elegance and dis¬ 
patch. Also, Newspaper Heads and Cuts Electuotyped in the same manner, and on reasonable terms.
